About 1\2 way between Williamsburg,Clermont,and MT Orab,Brown,Oh the broithers-in-law, Moses Leonard and John Anderson,about 1800. Sterling township's old RT 32 [74] on the headwaters of Todd's Run. Almost surely,they were from very sw Pa's present Greene Co,and John a son of a Charles Anderson there. John's children's names,and the sw Pa 1st names of his wife's Wood's match. I guess they might even have had ties to the 2nd wife of Obediah Ireton. Anyway,corrine Diller's doing some great research on a generation earlier Charles Anderson ,which I will post. John Anderson's Nancy m Robert Justice,and lived just east of me. So she was a many great aunt of mine. But,also,and maybe, my wife had a Wm Clark,Jr marry an Anderson girl by Alex Jackson Crawford, JP, who lived a couple miles sw. A grand daughter of John'smaybe? The Anderson's were Methodist, and buried in Williamsburg. John had a dau who became the 2nd wife of Bethel saddler,and Methodist minister, Moses Warden. What I'm looking for is any data, or even any old pictures of this like,that might show ties, or even show that the Anderson's looked like Swede's. Light complection. Following is great data that can 'not" yet be proven to be John Anderson's linage. Hints,but no proof. Swedish Indian traders of very nw Md on to the Upper Potomac.

War soldier in N.J. Have never found his ancestors, and not for lack of trying, but I suspect they were Dutch, and the name was corrupted between him and his father.
